This is Money Snake. She only appears every 312 years.
If you reblog her picture within the next twenty-five seconds you will have good luck and fortune for the rest of your life.
I reblogged her late last year and my 2024 has been very satisfying work-wise and (secure enough to not stress out) money-wise so far. Money Snake is wise and good.
Not worth taking the risk
took the percy jackson house quiz again and didn't get my normal cabin for the first time how are you guys doing

The urge to be off-putting, mysterious, and aloof is constantly at war with my urge to be a silly goofy creature
fugking love it here!!!!!!!!!
Since it's January, reminder that Shen Yun is a front for an insanely racist, homophobic, right-wing cult called Falun Gong that teaches among other things that homosexuality and race-mixing are evil and heaven is segregated by race. If you see their brochures at stores/coffee shops/libraries/whatever while you're out 99 times out of 100 it's because people don't know who they are and assume Shen Yun is a harmless dance troupe, and if you tell management/owners/etc. about their politics they'll get rid of their advertising. Do the right thing lol.
Get my freak on

Can't quite cope with how much this looks like me and my dad
It begins
Photo credit to the exceeding bemused sound technician we bribed with two cans of Carlsberg to permit us access to his gazebo.
Found this with no context on my phone
Just "photo taken on April 19, 2022 at 8:22 PM." No clues from any of the surrounding pictures. The previous one is me documenting the existence of my grandfather's stuffed pheasant before we get rid of it when we move and the one after it is a 13 second clip of me dumping a bag down our apartment's trash-chute and listening to it fall down all eight floors into the basement.
So I text the number and...
IT WORKED I GOT A SQUID FACT
This made my 3-in-the-morning, thank you Squid Fact Hotline, I didn't actually know that second fact about how tiny pygmy squids are.

Do you have any advice and how to write a long fic?
I'll encourage long fic writers to add on in the notes, but as someone who tends to prefer short and medium-length fic, I'll tell you how I go about it.
Get a premise that you just absolutely love. You're going to be writing this thing for months, if not longer, so you want it to be something you're willing to spend a lot of time thinking about.
Embrace subplots. You'll have your main plotline that you want to see through from beginning to end, but you can also weave in some subplots here or there. The way I do this so that I don't get lost down a rabbit hole is that I always make sure that every chapter has at least 1 thing that moves the main plot forward and then if I want to spend 1-2K with some side characters doing something fun I can do that as well. Subplots can extend for the length of the full narrative, but they can also just last a chapter or three. If you're used to writing short fic, these might give you that familiar feeling of "completion"
A chapter is only as long as it needs to be. Don't get hung up on having a consistent chapter length. Don't get hung up on hitting some arbitrary number every time. Instead, figure out what the next part of your story needs to include and write however many words it takes to get that chunk across. Varying your chapter lengths is a normal thing to do and not something to stress about.
The next thing that I find important personally may or may not be relevant to you, but I find that I can't plot anything in much detail. If I get too into the nitty gritty with my plotting, it just feels like I've already written it. I need to keep it at the level of "And then A and B meet C and hijinks ensue." I can figure out the particular hijinks later. It's the characters meeting up that's the next important thing for me to figure out. Getting too far ahead of myself is a death knell for me in writing long fics, but there are other writers who swear by it. Test out different ways of approaching it and see what works for you.
As someone who tends to write more briefly, another feature that's common to longer fics is more extensive descriptions. People spend time painting visual pictures of the setting or the characters or the actions that are happening. Write the more bare-bones style that focuses more on dialogue (if you're like me) and then go back and read through what you've just written and see if there are opportunities to add in more detail. This can lead to some really interesting characterization choices and also help you out with worldbuilding.
When it comes to worldbuilding, you don't have to get it all on the page. You just need to share what's relevant for the reader in that moment and what is useful to lay out now so that it's already there in a future chapter. You can have an encyclopedic knowledge of how your world works in your head, but it's not actually necessary. No one is going to be quizzing you later - and if they do, you can always figure it out at that point.
Most important for me when I'm trying to get myself to the end of a longer fic, have a friend or a group of friends who are also into what you're writing - or at least willing to hear you get excited about it. Being able to get excited about your work is so important. It's like a bottle of water being handed to you on mile 10 of a marathon.
as a fic writer who automatically ends up writing multi-chaptered plot fics 90% of the time, i love these and would add a few different elements that work for me:
plotting can start in many ways. sometimes, it's just a visual, a single line or an image, and a character, that you want to build around. sometimes it's a theme. personally, I find it okay not to worry too much about the methodology, as long as you have an element you really like, whether it be an image or a concrete plotline, just keep asking questions around it that you need to answer: how do they come to this, what are they trying to do? who is involved, and why? where are they? etc. before long, you'll have a plot formed
if you have a plot fic, motivations are important and answering questions about motivations of characters can provide a lot of the meat for subplots! they can also tie multiple aspects of the plot together
thinking about themes and motifs help. sometimes these will come out automatically as you plot, sometimes, thinking about an overarching theme or themes is the action that can unblock you in your fic writing when you get stuck!
fully agree with the point above that adding descriptions can come in at the editing stage :> sometimes, dialogue in itself can carry a huge amount of information and plot forward. not to say that prose cannot be dynamic too, of course, but if you are a writer who has facility with dialogues over prose, dropping plot points in dialogue is also a nice way of keeping it dynamic. it really depends on your writing style
picking the starting point can be hard! some like to start slow, some like to start in medias res... i personally find it helpful to have the whole plot noted down and pick a way to start after a significant chunk of the plot has been jotted down. it gives me more control about what plot points to reveal at any given time
and of course, it's okay to give up a plot if it doesn't work :) have fun with it! long fics can give a special kind of satisfaction when completed, when you tie all the loose ends together and feel like you told a complete story! so good luck with long fics writing and have fun!
I agree with a lot of the stuff here. Another thing I think can be good is to leave room for "seeds" in the fic--random details that can come back later. A random background character, the name of a place, a specific item somewhere, etc. It doesn't mean that they WILL come back--just that they CAN.
They're fun for your readers and will make them excited because they might remember it in an earlier chapter and be excited that they noticed it, and they're great for you because then if you're stuck, you can go back and read those earlier chapters and you might find a seed in there that will help you figure out whatever's gotten you stuck.
There's been many times when I've gotten stuck, gone back to read my earlier chapters, and noticed a specific detail I've added that made me go "AHA!"
thinking about this 12th century carving from the kilpeck church
"Wow little buddy, they really put us on a 12th century church! This is the sixth or seventh highest honor we could receive!"
"I think they really captured my vacant stare."
